HEAVY LEGIONARIES CENTURIONS

Transcription

1 ENCLAVE The Enclave is a private army genetically engineered and masterminded by four scientists. The scientists each control their own Sector. The four Sectors are Ceres, Jupiter, Minerva, and Vulcan. Each Sector specializes in the research and development of certain types of weapons and mutant soldiers. It has divided Manhattan into four territories, each controlled by a Sector. Thus, the Enclave units encountered in Harlem differ in strength, numbers, and weapons from those encountered in the Financial District. The Enclave is the Hulk s adversary in a majority of the story missions. Enclave Assault Groups also appear randomly as the Hulk moves through the city. The Hulk can defeat randomly appearing Enclave Assault Groups to further the Enclave Metagame, which is ongoing throughout the game. For more specifics regarding the Enclave Metagame, please refer to the Sandbox chapter. LEGIONARIES Legionaries are the standard, humanoid soldiers of the Enclave forces. They typically position themselves at the outskirts of a battle area, and fire upon the Hulk with rapid-fire plasma lasers or with sonic guns that may cause the Hulk to drop items. Legionaries are easy to defeat with single Light Melee attacks, or by colliding with them while sprinting.

2 HEAVY LEGIONARIES Heavy Legionaries are identical to Legionaries, except they carry upgraded equipment such as Lightning Guns, Madness Guns, and Biowarfare Guns when their Sector achieves the appropriate upgrade. Heavy Legionaries can be defeated as easily as regular Legionaries, by hitting them with Light Melee attacks or by colliding with them while sprinting. CHAPTER 1 CHAPTER 2 CHAPTER 3 CHAPTER 4 CHAPTER 5 CHAPTER 6 CENTURIONS Centurions are Enclave Legionaries equipped with jetpacks that allow them to fly. They can pursue the Hulk to rooftops and fire upon him either with rapid-fire lasers or sonic guns that may cause the Hulk to drop items. They are also capable of picking up important items with hand-held tractor beams. Centurions try to steal important equipment during several missions. Centurions can be defeated as easily as Legionaries, by hitting them with any attack. Because they can fly out of range in an instant, the ideal way to attack them is with a pole or mace. ENEMIES BARBARIA Enclave Barbaria are brutish, oversized mutant soldiers enhanced by genetic tampering. They approach the Hulk directly and attack him with large iron battering rams, which they can wield in combos against the Hulk. Barbaria can be defeated with a combo of Heavy Melee attacks, or they can be grabbed and defeated with a Punish combo (Light, Light, Light). Barbaria also make great projectiles for throwing at Legionaries, Dropships, and other targets. 21

3 THE ENCLAVE AND RICK JONES PART 4 MAP KEY Landmark Subway Gamma Canister START Rick Rage Canister Jump Challenge Comic Book Bomb 1 MISSION OBJECTIVES Carry Rick to the Bomb Locations. Defeat the remaining Enclave forces. Locate and destroy the Jupiter base. Destroy the generators to deactivate the shield. Destroy the Enclave base. Bomb 2 Bomb 3 Enclave Lab PIGGYBACK TIME! DEFUSE THE FIRST BOMB In the first part of this mission, the Hulk has four minutes thirty seconds to escort Rick Jones to three locations where the Enclave has planted earthquake bombs. The Hulk must defend Rick from enemy attack while he disarms the bombs. All three bombs must be disarmed before the timer expires, or the mission ends in failure. The location of the closest bomb is marked on the mini-radar, and a green directional icon appears onscreen. Continue chain jumping southeast along the angled street until you reach the Empire State Building, where the fi rst earthquake bomb is located. Jump and climb up to the fi rst ledge, and enter the green zone near the bomb. Rick automatically drops to the ground and starts deactivating the bomb. He needs approximately 30 seconds to accomplish this. Meanwhile, the Hulk must hold off a dozen Legionaries and Barbaria approaching from the south side of the ledge. From the Hulk s starting point in The Village/Soho neighborhood, leap down the street to the right until you fi nd Rick, who is highlighted by a yellow icon. Press the Grab/Throw button to pick up Rick and sling him on the Hulk s back.

4 Allow the Enclave attackers to approach within at least 100 feet. Then rush out to meet them. This way, you can retreat and grab Rick as soon as he s done disarming the bomb. Take out shooting Legionaries with quick punches, then seize Barbaria and throw most of them off the side of the building. Rick announces when he has disarmed the bomb. He also becomes marked in yellow, and a directional icon appears onscreen. As soon as Rick is ready to continue, break off fi ghting the Enclave forces and go back to grab Rick. Remember that for now you re fi ghting the timer, not Enclave! HEAD TO THE SECOND BOMB Shave a few seconds off your travel time to the next bomb location by running south along the lowest level of the Empire State Building. Charge your jump and then leap up to grab the side of the next building to the south. Run south across the roof of that building, charge your jump, and leap toward the upper ledges of the triangular-shaped Flatiron Building to the southwest. Press the Light Melee button while mid-air to extend your leap, and you should make it easily. From there, you should be able to leap south to the next bomb location, especially if you press Light Melee at the last second. ATTACKED FROM BOTH SIDES! Step into the green highlighted zone, and Rick will dismount and start defusing the bomb. Legionaries and Barbaria issue from a nearby door. Keep punching out Legionaries and throwing Barbaria off the rooftop. An Enclave Dropship settles over the rooftop and inserts more enemies into the fray. Concentrate on keeping foes away from Rick until he fi nishes defusing the bomb. Then grab him, ignore the remaining enemies and leap south towards a small park. A Gamma Canister is located near the southeast corner of this park; pick it up quickly if the Hulk s health needs a boost. THE FINAL BOMB Chain jump southwest toward a very tall, brownish skyscraper with windows. Climb to the top of this building and enter the green zone at the center of the rooftop. Enclave Legionaries and Barbaria immediately issue from a door on the southwest side of the building. Smash the enemies that emerge from this door, and rain down blows upon the doorway itself until it is destroyed. This way, no more foes can issue from it! CHAPTER 1 CHAPTER 2 CHAPTER 3 CHAPTER 4 CHAPTER 5 CHAPTER 6 THE ENCLAVE AND RICK JONES PART 4 47

5 Another Enclave Dropship rises and settles over the rooftop, depositing reinforcements on the south side of the building. Pick up Barbaria and hurl them at the Dropship. Also pick up large air conditioners and the satellite dish and hurl them all at the Dropship until is destroyed. This reduces the number of additional enemies that can appear. By then, Rick should be fi nished defusing the bomb. Pick him up and kill off the remaining Enclave forces while Rick holds onto your back for dear life. An energy shield powered by four large generators protects the base. Destroy the generators to negate the shield. A bolt of lighting circles each generator. Wait until the bolt passes by, then step up and strike the generator. For improved effectiveness, we strongly recommended bashing the generators with an object. Any of the dumpsters located under the nearby turnpike should do nicely. DESTROY THE JUPITER BASE After clearing the rooftop of enemies, start leaping east when prompted. Chain jump toward the green icon directly ahead, which marks the location where a Jupiter Division base stands on a pier. When the shield is down, eliminate the bulk of the Enclave forces in the area. Then strike the base with Ground Slams (Light, Light, Heavy) and Heavy Melee attacks until it crumbles. Pick up pieces of macadam that fall from the building s sides, and use them as shields or to bash the building for greater damage. The building s remaining structural integrity is displayed in the upper left corner of the screen. Keep striking it until the base collapses, and the mission is complete! First, step into the green highlighted area behind the building so that Rick drops to the ground. This is a fairly safe place for him to hide while the Hulk takes out the base. Just be sure not to let any enemies find their way back here during the coming battle.

7 BOSS S FI IGH HT As the Enclave s giant assault robot lumbers down the street toward the Hulk, pick up taxicabs and parked vehicles in the area and hurl them at the Kyklops to inflict major damage. KYKLOPS When the giant robot moves within range of the Hulk, it emits two blue tracking lasers. Run for cover before it begins firing a quick series of plasma blasts. Then reemerge and resume hurling things at the giant. If the Hulk moves within extremely close proximity, the Kyklops crouches and slams its fists into the ground. If either fist strikes the Hulk, he gets knocked backward and stunned momentarily. The Kyklops then raises a foot and tries to crush the Hulk. Luckily, the Hulk catches the foot. However, a button-press tug-o-war ensues as the Kyklops shifts its weight forward on its foot. A button icon is displayed onscreen, with a green bar beneath it. If the green bar empties completely, then the Kyklops crushes the Hulk for an instant kill. Rapidly tap the displayed button to try to fight the draining of the bar. To achieve the required number of presses at the right speed, lift your left hand off the left side of the controller, position it over the right side, and rapidly tap your forefinger on the indicated button. If you tap the button rapidly enough and refill the bar completely, the Hulk wins the tug-o-war and topples the Kyklops, inflicting severe damage to its systems. Continue throwing parked cars at the Kyklops until it falls. If you run out of cars, throw lamplight posts at it. Or, smash storefronts and throw chunks of concrete at the Kyklops. Keep an eye on its remaining health. When you ve defeated it, leap away from it lest it crush you when it falls!

8 BREAKING NOW INTO MULTIPLE MISSION PATHS For defeating the Kyklops, the Hulk might achieve the Improved Thunderclap upgrade if the other criteria have all been met. This upgrade enables the Hulk s Thunderclap Rage Move.
